On his April 17 WABC radio show, a clip of which is posted at WorldNetDaily, Aaron Klein misleadingly asserted that Obama adviser Samantha Power “gave an interview in 2008 where she wanted to bring a mammoth protection force — pay attention — to the Palestinian territories.” (10:45 in the posted clip.)
First, Klein gets the date completely wrong: the interview was in 2002, not 2008. Second, he falsely portrays the context of Power’s statement. Power was not advocating an invasion of Israel, as Klein suggested; rather, her reference to a “mammoth protection force” was in response to a hypothetical question about a move toward genocide by “one party or another” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the size of the peacekeeping force that would be needed to stop a genocide from happening.
